Chapter 730 Dialogue
Farewell to Zhi Tianxuan, Wu Yi and Yue Liuli held hands, rode on the auspicious clouds, and enjoyed their time together. It was not impossible to call out ghost soldiers to protect them, but it would inevitably ruin the atmosphere.
More than a thousand miles away from Xishan, the sacred mountain behind him is still towering, but with eyesight alone, it is difficult to see Zhi Tianxuan's face clearly, unless the other party reveals emotions such as murderous intent and hatred, which leads to spiritual pursuit.
Above the sky, Wu Yi looked down at the vast land of the Western Land. Over the past few decades, with the ascendance of Zhi Tianxuan, the Divine Lord of the Western Mountains, the Western Land has regained some vitality. There are more and more people in the Western Land, and small villages are dotted like oases in the desert.
In a vast and sparsely populated place, it is easy for the people to live and work in peace and contentment. However, it is impossible to get rich and powerful. Generally speaking, in this kind of place, there is neither a wealthy family nor the risk of being cold and exhausted.
Immortals will not do this kind of thing, the number of people is small, and there is no basis for the birth of humanity. Only Shinto will work hard to do it, because it affects their believers. The more difficult the believers in places, the stronger their faith. Shinto has this motivation to do it. This is their fundamental interest.
People were bustling and living peacefully, and it was a peaceful scene. Wu Yi said to Yue Liuli in his arms: "Do you envy the life of ordinary people?"
Yue Liuli also lowered her gaze, looking at the living creatures' habitat, and replied: "I am envious, but I am not envious either!"
Wu Yi smiled and waited for Yue Liuli's explanation later.
"I envy them the ordinary things they can enjoy, but I also know that their tolerance for risk is extremely low. A slight disturbance from the outside world can separate their wives and families." Yue Liuli was born into a noble family, but for many years he has been at the bottom of the class, and he has no feelings for them. There is not a lot that is known about the things at the bottom level.
"So, do you want to be more ordinary? Or do you want to be more extraordinary?" Wu Yi continued his question.
Yue Liuli hesitated for a moment, and Wu Yi suddenly asked this. She felt that there seemed to be a deep meaning behind it, but in any case, she didn't think clearly about what Wu Yi wanted to say behind the scenes, so she answered in a decent manner: "If you really have to choose, it must be something extraordinary. There will be less restraint this way.”
Yue Liuli is walking on the extraordinary road now, so there is no way she can be allowed to say words that go against her will! The only thing that people cannot betray is their own past.
You have no choice but to face it squarely. Even if you are a saint, you can wipe away the memories of all sentient beings, but you cannot wipe away your own memory. Why should you deceive yourself and others?
Wu Yi said with a smile: "To me, ordinary people can clearly understand their emotions, anger, sorrows and joys, unlike us, where the seven emotions and six desires have become the shackles of spiritual practice, and the expressions on their faces are all pretending to be seen by others. Even so, Calculations still exist all the time, even among people who are close to you."
Yue Liuli listened to the first half with a smile. After listening to the second half, Yue Liuli's pupils became larger and her breathing almost stagnated. She felt that even the wind around her had stopped, the clouds had stopped, and everything was gone. If they are stagnated together, they cannot be dissolved.
Wu Yi caressed Yue Liuli's smooth back, stretching her nerves that collapsed due to tension. He put his nose in Yue Liuli's hair and savored the fragrance.
"Do you want to say that Master and I "plotted" on you?" After a while, Yue Liuli came back to her senses and said calmly.
"Master should have met you during the few days I was asleep!" Wu Yi asked, blowing hot air into Yue Liuli's ear.
"Yes! Do you want to know what we talked about?" Yue Liuli felt extremely bitter and extremely disappointed. Even now, does he still not believe in himself? The tears of grievance couldn't stop falling. Is my choice really right?
"No need, Master is doing it for my own good, I know that." She gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Yue Liuli's eyes with her sleeves, "And I also know how you feel about me! Some insignificant means can be used. It’s okay.”
After waking up, Yue Liuli deliberately distanced herself, which was a strategy of retreating in order to advance. Yue Liuli had been following Wu Yi for so long and had never used this method. It was obviously not something she came up with on her own. If she really wanted to gain enlightenment, she would not do it at this time. This is the first doubt.
And when he saw Zhi Tianxuan later, his weird look in his eyes made it easy to think that it might have something to do with his mistress, which made Wu Yi want to share his worries. However, he didn’t know what happened to his mistress, so where could he find a solution? Master is a little happier.
When he left, he suddenly stopped. Thinking of his previous proposal to persuade Wu Yi to buy loose leaves, it is not difficult to think, what did Zhi Tianxuan mean?
Wu Yi is willing to break the shackles in his heart. An entry point is that Wu Yi actually wants to make Zhi Tianxuan happier and relieve the troubles on his eyebrows. No matter how the water is boiled, it will never exceed one hundred degrees, which is its boiling point. But adding a drop of oil makes a difference.
The only difference between Wu Yi and Yue Liuli is that drop of oil. So from this perspective, Wu Yi does not hate Zhi Tianxuan.
Including during the subsequent banquet, Zhi Tianxuan presented his past embarrassing stories to Yue Liuli, which actually enhanced the understanding between the two. Zhi Tianxuan had good intentions, so Wu Yi knew it, but did not say anything at the banquet.
"Then -" Yue Liuli wanted to ask Wu Yi why he was bothering with this. You know everything yourself, so why are you asking? Is it not allowed for Taoist lovers to maintain good-faith concealment? But when the words came to his lips, he lost his voice.
"I have been lonely since I was a child. At the age of ten, I left my motherland and went to a foreign country. I escaped numerous soldiers and thousands of city gates. The journey was difficult and dangerous. What kept me alive was not kindness and honesty, but suspicion and concealment."
Yue Liuli was speechless. Was she recalling her childhood? Yue Liuli had heard about this story a little bit, but because Wu Yi's subsequent style was too dazzling, this story became a footnote to his self-improvement and courage to climb to the top.
"Even for a person like Master, I only told him 50% of the secrets at most, but for you, I want to tell you more." Wu Yi said as he stroked Yue Liuli's slightly messy hair.
When you know the secret, you also have the obligation to keep it secret. Trust between people is often ruined by so-called white lies. If it continues, people will only think that you are stupid and easy to fool.
"I know." Yue Liuli cried like a child who had done something wrong, and hummed softly. This time, maybe she was really scared.
Patting Yue Liuli's back gently, Wu Yi looked straight into the distance. Instead of making unpleasant things in the future, it is better to be prepared from the beginning.
